A beautifully dreamy and accessible piece using a few note bends. A good double-tonguing
workout for each part with both lines sharing the soaring melody. Apart from the
expressive use of open holes the parts proceed with alternating arching melodies
and bubbling semi-quaver passages.

The title ‘maya’ is in reference to the meaning ‘illusion’ as opposed to the South
American civilisation. Based on an early work ‘Passage’ 1986 (Clarke/Hicks/Painter)
it was rewritten & arranged by Ian Clarke in its current form in 2000 with first
publication in 2001.
